Subject: [RFC v1 2/2] powerpc/64s: Add support for huge pfnmaps
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 11:46:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d159058a45ac5e225f2e64cc7c8bbbd1583e51f3.1772170860.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <0b8fce7a61561640634317a5e287cdb4794715fd.1772170860.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
This uses _RPAGE_SW2 bit for the PMD and PUDs similar to PTEs.
This also adds support for {pte,pmd,pud}_pgprot helpers needed for
follow_pfnmap APIs.
This allows us to extend the PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger, to map at PMD / PUD level.
VFIO PCI core driver already supports fault handling at PMD / PUD level
for more efficient BAR mappings.

@linux-mm:
Is there any official test which I could use to verify this functionality.
For now I used basic ivshmem setup + vfio using Qemu and validated using some
basic test to see that we are seeing these prints.
